    Brett. I'll have to call you on this one. Actually the main bird and the others switch positions during flight. The main bird creates a draft for the other birds to basically "coast" in. That way the other birds don't have to keep so hard on flying. When the main bird tires, he falls back in formation and another bird takes the lead. That way, all birds contribute and all birds have rest times. Later, QD.
